Hi‘ipoi - track 10. E Pili Mai

Track 10. E Pili Mai 3:09 (words by Larry Lindsey Kimura, music by Peter Moon)Paula learned the hui (refrain) of this unique, retro version in a dream after hearing Cyril Pahinui perform the song at the Kanikapila Grill in Waikīkī. (Cyril graciously gave us permission to record it, but he requests that the hui only be performed by Pūlama.)
